LAST WEEKS POST - CLOUDS GATHERING?

Have you ever been to the Isle of Arran?

A quiet peaceful place off the West Coast of Scotland.

Pretty beaches, waterfalls, standing stones, craft shops, wild honeysuckle, castles and a mountain intriguingly called “Goat Fell”

An unlikely place for an uprising.

Mmm. The mountains of Arran have a configuration known locally as “The Sleeping Warrier”

So maybe not so unlikely, My Black Cat.

ARRAN
LORD DARZI, WATCH OUT, THE SCOTS ARE GATHERING

However, the doctors in Ayrshire and Arran, far removed from the the English polyclinics, global health care predators, Virgin in the wings, dumbing down, wheelie bin doctors, have decided they have had enough of English madness.

Next week, they are going to debate whether they should call for the resignation of Lord Darzi at their annual conference.

” Scottish LMCs may call for the immediate resignation of health minister Lord Darzi at their annual conference next week.

Ayrshire and Arran LMC proposed the motion, which will be debated at the Scottish LMCs conference in Clydebank next Thursday. The LMC says that Darzi’s plans to allow unqualified doctors to staff polyclinics, revealed in GP last month, ‘belittles the role and expertise of general practitioners’.

There is a rising in the East of Scotland too.

“Another motion under discussion at the conference will call for an end to the UK-wide contract, so that Scotland can prioritise its own health needs.

‘Everything at the moment appears to be predicated on the needs of London and the south east,’ said Dr John Rankin, secretary of Forth Valley LMC, who proposed the motion.

He cited polyclinics and extended hours as ‘solutions to problems that don’t exist in the rest of the UK being foisted on us’.

Ha, the Scots are forming a posse!

Maybe it takes outsiders looking in to see, and feel, and take on the madness?

Eh, My Black Cat?
